Yes, respectfully, you did a removal, not the install. I just went through your video quickly and found at the end, you didn't install the new one, and there are some things to know about installing things, like clues to how to align the arms up properly to get the full swing of the wipers when turned on. I really do appreciate you making a video, but perhaps you might keep the titles accurate so others know to spend time watching or not. Having said this, again, I appreciate and respect that you have done the video... thank you for sharing regardless of the not-so-accurate title. :)

Enjoyed this video. Looks similiar to my 91 Golf except for the location of the fuse panel. I just have to climb under my dash to access the panel with half my body outside the car lol. I agree testing for voltage would be tough with the wiper motor in the car, but of course check the fuses,relays and wiper stalk on the steering wheel first before removing the motor. Thanks for posting this!

Yes, the high contrast with a bright day makes video much more difficult. That's a very insightful comment, Rich.

If you unplug the ECU from the 4 or so plugs, it gives a much extra needed inch or 2 and makes sliding it in or out much easier. Thanks for the video, still helped me loads.

Shoe horn? I was thinking of a plasma cutter for the old unit! LOL! Of course, you would need a Saturn, VW, GM, Ford, etc., shoe horn for each application. Great video, what a Bit__!

That's a tight fit! I'll bet the service manual says you must remove the windshield first to gain access to the wiper motor... LOL

That motor sure came loose from the assembly easily. When I replaced the one on my mom's Saturn SL2, I about never got those bolts broken loose. It makes matters worse when you have to try and find somewhere to hold down the wiper assembly so that you can actually put some effort onto the bolts themselves. I didn't have a vice handy.
